Sounds like they had their scaler set up to squash everything. Not the best for content, but the best for accepting whatever people will throw at it. Can’t say I’m a fan of not giving you all the pixels you paid for, though!

I miss AV sometimes.

Nice. It looks like your led has a little hat!

Did you manage to get Linux to output the native resolution of the screen?

Can you use an external controller, and a stand of some kind?

Oooh, this is promising… I’ll check it out, if it’s what I hope it is, thank you!

I’m not sure on either front- never used LibreOffice Draw. Visio does, but for me, it’s not worth it.

I like draw.io, but the killer feature I want is auto-layout. As soon as a flowchart gets a little complex, things get really fiddly. I wish I could hit ‘auto-arrange’ and it would do some approximation of a tidy layout.

Is Docker considered virtualisation?

Thanks. As bare metal is quite a bit more expensive, what would I lose by going to a VPS? I’m assuming Proxmox and Windows, assuming I wanted to go with a Linux VPS. Would there be issues with running Docker containers with the VPS?

Bookmarked for later.

Fatmap. It was freemium, but now it’s moving into Strava, who knows how much of it they’ll hide behind subscriptions.

There’s so many great FOSS maps, but I haven’t seen any that give you the 3D view that Fatmap does. It’s essentially Google Earth with overlays of routes for various activities.

• USB PD can negotiate pushing up to 240W now at 48V, which is a fair bit.

So if I wanted to wire my home to take advantage of this, supposing I had a house battery on solar, would I have some kind of DC-DC converter from battery to 48V, then cable to outlets with some kind of USB PD adaptor? How much advantage do I get from this, vs using existing 240V outlets + wall wart?

Ok, so when I’m next driving through a Swiss tunnel, and suddenly the tunnel twists inside itself infinitely, I can blame FreeCAD.

Got a link? I find it hard to believe that a process like that would stop because of a few windows machines not booting.

At that size, for that speed, I wonder why wifi was discarded. Depends on the components connecting, I guess, but if each component is custom I imagine adding a small wifi chip to each could be smaller overall?

I’ll need a source for that claim buddy

In my comment elsewhere in the thread I talk about how, as a complete software noob, I like to design programs by making a flowchart first, and how I wish the flowchart itself was the code.

It sounds like what I’m doing might be (super basic) programming architecture? Where can I go to learn more about this?

As someone who’s had a bit of exposure to PLCs and ladder logic, and dabbled in some more ‘programming’ type languages, I would love to find some sort of ‘language’ that fits together like ladder logic, but for more computery type applications.

I like systems, not programs. Most of my software design is done by building a flowchart, then stumbling around trying to figure out how to write that into code. I feel it would be so much easier if I could just make the flowchart be the code.

I want a grown up Scratch.

As a millennial, I agree with that.

I’m just happy to be doing my part to make copilot worse.

Wanna talk about poisoning LLMs? Just assume the coffee in my repo is in any way good.

Do you have one? I’ve seen them used, and I think they’ve got a lot of potential. If I could use handwriting recognition to work with my Workflowy notes and edit markdown shut up and take my money. However a quick look at the Toltec stuff tells me it’s mainly terminals, kernel managers and Doom. Am I missing something?
